Incidence of Postoperative Urosepsis Following Urological Surgeries in Developing Countries: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract: Postoperative urosepsis is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality following urological procedures, particularly in developing countries, despite advancements in prophylactic measures. This systematic review evaluates the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of postoperative urosepsis by analysing literature from 2010 to 2023, with data sourced from PubMed. Studies were included if they reported on postoperative urosepsis as a complication of urological surgeries in developing countries, while those lacking incidence rates, full-text access, or conducted outside these regions were excluded. Findings reveal an average incidence rate of 8.73%, with significant variability influenced by factors such as the type of surgical procedure, patient comorbidities, and healthcare resource availability. Despite the use of prophylactic antibiotics and supportive perioperative measures, the persistence of high incidence rates highlights the critical impact of limited healthcare infrastructure and resource constraints. This review underscores the need for improved infection prevention strategies and optimized perioperative care to address the specific challenges in resource-limited settings. Enhanced surgical practices and targeted interventions are essential to reduce the burden of postoperative urosepsis and improve patient outcomes in developing countries, emphasizing the importance of further research to guide such efforts.
